i installed a levoc shifter buy it sits to high on the rod. it is ppushed all the way down but still is up about 2.5 inches to much. is it possibke to cut the rod with the spring to lower it?

 

manual or auto ? im assuming its manual you can sut it but you better have a tap set to retap the threads. my opinion is NOT to cut it just get a short throw like i did mines fully adjustable so i can pick how high i want it.

 

i cut about 3in off my stock shifter but bought a short throw about 3 months later because i want to have a screw on shift **** again

 

where is the best place for me to get a short throw?? i needone the previous owner of my 5spd but like 3.5 inches off it sits REAL low lol

 

no, its an auto. the levoc sits about 2 inches to high and i was going to cut it down. would there be any problems with this if i cut it?

 

all you have to do is cut about an inch or whatever you want out of it and then weld the threaded part back onto the end of it.

A lot of people think that cutting a shifter doesn't shorten the throw, but it does. It isn't the same as the so-called short throw shifters though.

Cutting it means that the end of the shifter turns at a shorter radius (and distance), but it does still have to move the same angle of travel, whereas the storebought shortthrow shifters can lessen the angle of travel.

 

could i cut the auto shifter, i was afraid it i messed something up it wouldnt shift out of park.

 

i dont think you can cut a autop i wouldnt do it i had an auto and it had the lock and stuff on it you may mess it up and not be able to get out of park if you do cut it

 

i was thinking the same of doing this. im not sure but i think if you cut 1 1/2" off the outside you have to do the same to the inside

 

correct it shortens the throw because the bottom of the shifter sits lower while the top of the rod is shorter therefore shortening the throw
